Carpet Install Question
I am getting ready to install my carpet in my '74. My question is about the plugs that hold the carpet against the rear wall. How many are required? I just have 3 there, but the catalogs say that 15 (i think) are required? and they only sell them in quanity packages. Are these supposed to be used somewhere else that I am not seeing?
Thanks for the help

Re: Carpet Install Question (jbegler)
I just completed the rear carpet on my 77 - there were only three plugs across the top at the rear. I went down to the local body shop and he had trays full of different sizes and shapes. He gave me several different ones to try and one set matched up fine. I just returned the others and he didn't charge me for the ones I used. They are so far back and up out of the way I was not concerned if they were original or not - just that they held the carpet in place. Since the holes were already there I did not want to use glue.
Hope this may help you.
